Introduction and Salutation - Team 2167

Greetings!

This blog is designed to serve as the blog for FIRST Robotics Competition Team 2167: Missouri Academy of Science, Mathematics, and Computing. The Missouri Academy is a two-year early-entrance-to-college program located on the campus of Northwest Missouri State University in Maryville, Missouri. The students who attend the Academy are 11th and 12th grade students who excel in the classroom and as an institution, we are focused on the STEM fields (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics).

Our Robotics program is currently in its fourth year of existance. During this time, our team has grown to be a well-known STEM student group at the Academy. However, since the Academy is a two-year program, retention is a challenge we naturally encounter every year as well as passing information from one group to the next.

During our rookie year of 2007, we competed at the St Louis Regional event and had a 3-4-1 track record there. For the past three years (including the 2009-2010 season), we have competed at the Greater Kansas City Regional and our track record has been 4-3-0, 3-4-0, and 4-4-2 this year. This information is taken from thebluealliance.net, which doesn't include final rankings.

This entry is simply meant to introduce the team to the blogging world. Our performance at the FIRST competition this past weekend will be chronicled in the very near future.
